As evidenced by the picture to the right, Miles is usually associated with other “gritty” utility-types. Too bad he does nothing particularly well. The 34-year-old batted .281/.311/.317 with zero homers, nine RBI and a .627 OPS over 151 plate appearances with the Cardinals last season. And while he can play both middle infield positions and third base, he has rated as a below average defender during his career.

Jamey Carroll is projected to be the primary backup infielder for the Dodgers, so Miles will likely compete with Juan Castro and Ivan DeJesus Jr. for one of the final bench spots.
